To me the only argument he would have within this context is age, because Cook was clearly the more effective player in the last 12 months in addition to having a better resume.

I don't get it either and the talking heads on all the sport shows are really starting to be obnoxious about this. (I know they're idiots. I know)

How does a GM grant an extension when the player cant practice due to an injured leg? He went through the offseason and wasnt able to get into practice shape, let alone game shape.
